Chapter 235 Something’s Not Right
Titus was embarrassed when Simone exposed the truth and didn’t expect to have such a negative image in Simone’s mind. It’s all because of those two who keep spreading rumors, he grumbled silently.
But if he hadn’t known about Jodie’s problem, he might not have refused. Since she dared to come, he had no reason to be afraid. It was just a casual fling between them, but now, he regretted it and realized that he couldn’t be so casual in the future.
Harold gave a response. ‘It’s a shame that Titus can’t become a big tree like me; otherwise, I would have a companion too.
Titus retorted, ‘Get lost. Who wants to be your companion?”
He didn’t want to be affected by Jodie’s misfortune, so he asked Simone in a text, ‘Can you sell me two talismans?’
He felt unsafe without talismans on him and felt like a piece of juicy meat, always on guard. against Jodie, the fox.
Then came Simone’s reply. ‘Sure, 1.5 million.
Titus agreed. ‘No problem, I’ll transfer it to you now. Should I come to your place again to have you draw it?’
Although 1.5 million was not a small amount, things that could be solved with money were not a big deal. Luck and life were more important.
Simone replied, ‘Hmm, come over.”
Luca and Aaron had been observing the conversation between the three of them. After hearing Simone’s words, Luca said, “Titus, ask Simone if she can draw a talisman for us, too.”
Since Titus almost fell for it, they might not be spared as well. Without talismans, they would become vulnerable, at the mercy of Jodie.
Aaron nodded eagerly. “Yes, we want it, too. We’ll pay.”
Titus was concerned that his two younger brothers would be affected, so he asked Simone, who didn’t object, and asked them to transfer the money. If Jodie took away too much of the Gray Family brothers’ luck, it wouldn’t be good for her.
She and Jodie were in a zero-sum game; if Jodies luck skyrocketed, she would be suppressed. so she had to help the three troublemakers draw talismans.

Of course, not a penny less.
Both of them were relieved when they saw that Simone had agreed.
Aaron sighed. “Indeed, our biological sister is the best.”
Luca sighed as well. “Yes, she’s still the best.”
So, what nonsense had they done before?
Aaron sighed heavily. “Simone said that we spoiled Jodie. It has nothing to do with manipulation and is our problem. This also means that she is even less likely to forgive us.”
That was what Simone meant.
After hearing this, the other two didn’t feel good either, and Titus stood up. “Alright, let’s go find Simone to draw the talismans. Otherwise, I don’t dare to go home.” Even if he got the talisman painted by Simone again, he was still planning to move out for a while. Living at home was too terrifying because he had to be constantly on guard.
Luca and Aaron rose to their feet. “Yes, let’s go find Simone and the talismans.” They, too, were afraid, and the same thought on Titus’ mind suddenly was on theirs-it was better to move out for a while because it was too dangerous at home.
When the three of them left in the car, Jodie went to Andrew’s room. Titus had run away, and both the incense and the talisman had lost their effectiveness, which frustrated her to the point of wanting to vomit blood. But for now, she couldn’t do anything about Titus.
She went back to her room first and saw that even the foundation couldn’t hide the spots on her hands. Unable to wait any longer, she had to look for Andrew. It happened that the other brothers were not around at the moment, so they wouldn’t ruin her good fortune.
In Andrew’s room, he poured a glass of water for Jodie. “Jo, why are your eyes red again?”
Right before coming, she had deliberately cried. Trying to cover it up, she said, “It’s nothing”
Andrew frowned when he saw her like this and asked, “Did someone bully you?”
She pursed her lips and answered, “It’s not exactly bullying; it’s just that Titus said he hates me. I don’t know why, but recently, Titus, Luca, and Aaron have all had a big problem with me when I didn’t provoke them” She sighed with grievance “But it’s normal for them to dislike me. After all, Simone is all they care about now.”
Andrew reached out and stroked her head They’ve just been acting foolishly recently Don’t be bothered by them and I’ll talk to them later Cheer up, they don’t care about you, but I do”
Jodie leaned against his shoulder and hugged harm “You’re the only one I have now
Andrew, I’ve been having a tough time recently. Will you lend me some luck? Once I have good luck in the future, I’ll return it to you.”
If she could take away all of Simone’s luck according to plan, then she would become popular in the entertainment industry and have an endless supply of luck. After that, she wouldn’t mind asking her brother for help to return the luck she borrowed from Andrew.
Andrew smiled and said, “What’s the big deal? It’s just luck. If you want it, take it.”
Jodie’s eyes lit up. “Andrew, are you agreeing to give me some luck?”
He replied, “Of course, I agree. Take it.”
She was overjoyed in her heart. “Andrew, you’re the best. I like you the most.”
After sitting for a while, she made an excuse that she was tired and was escorted back to her room by Andrew. Back in her room, Jodie found a bowl and poured water into it. Then, she took out another talisman and wrote Andrew’s name and birthdate on it with a pen before lighting it up and throwing it into the water.
If anyone else were there, they would surely be amazed. The talisman, which was ignited and. thrown into the water, not only did not extinguish but continued to burn in the water. It was only after the entire talisman had turned into ashes that the fire was finally put out. The ashes instantly dissolved into the water as if they had never appeared.
Jodie’s eyes were filled with joy and excitement as she witnessed this, and she picked up the bowl and drank all the water. After drinking, she had a feeling that the weakened luck that had been present before would soon return, and her appearance would also return to normal.
On the other side, Titus and his brothers arrived at Simone’s apartment. Simone wasted no time in engaging them in conversation and immediately took their breath away by drawing the talismans.
Initially, they were scheduled to return the next day to retrieve it, but the three of them were too anxious and couldn’t wait until tomorrow. So, they sat and waited for two hours until Simone finished drawing the talismans for them. Once again, she emphasized the time limit of the talismans.
Aaron wanted to find an excuse to talk to Simone, but after she handed them the talismans, she promptly asked them to leave. With no other choice, the three brothers had to depart the apartment with the talismans, sensing that Simone was still impatient with them.
Upon returning home, they coincidentally encountered Andrew, who was suddenly famished and had gone downstairs to grab something to eat. As he quickly devoured his food, he glanced at the three of them. “Why are you three hanging out together?” Ali of a sudden, he felt a sense of isolation and abandonment from his brothers, which made him feel very

uncomfortable.
Titus replied, “We went out to have some fun and just got back.” He glanced at the plates and snack wrappers on the table. “Are you a bottomless pit?”
empty
Luca and Aaron also noticed that their brother had eaten so much. “Are you alright?” They had never seen him with such a hearty appetite before, and something seemed off, no matter how they looked at it.
